I born and raised mostly in Syracuse, NY. I lived in NE Pa while married but moved here to NW Wa State to start anew after my divorce. I don't care much for the single life I wish I had someone to cherish and someone who cared about me and to be happy with. Last Nov.08 I under went gastric byp and have lost an enormous amount of weight and am looking and feeling good now! I live alone well almost alone *Laffs** I have a small pekingese dog ( my sidekick). I am very domestic and love to cook and do house work and all that goes along with keeping a nice home, I am a good cook so beware *Laffs* you may put weight on after dating me...I enjoy horse back riding and walking and would like to try going out on a boat someday. I love house plants so my home has many plants in it. I enjoy cookouts and love kids,pets (esp dogs and horses) I enjoy traveling some and good music ( Elton John,Rolling Stones,Ozzy,Eagles,Wynonna Judd etc etc etc)I am not a Materialistic type lady, I have lived poor my whole life so I am easily pleased. Doesn't take much to make me happy. If I have the basics I am happy.
